Wil Myers racked up three steals Wednesday in the Padres’ win over the Phillies.

He reached base four times for the Friars, collecting a single, a double and two walks. Myers accomplished an incredibly rare feat in the fourth inning when he singled, stole second, stole third and later came home on a double steal. Myers hasn’t hit for a high average this year (.240) but his speed/power combo still makes him a valuable fantasy contributor. Aug 16 - 9:04 PM

Wil Myers finished 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-3 loss on the road against the Dodgers.

Myers picks up homers in bunches, and his recent performance has been no exception. He has managed three homers with four RBI over the past three outings. His average has tailed off quite a bit but he has already equaled his home run total from the month of July. Aug 13 - 4:17 AM

Wil Myers belted a two-run dinger in a loss to the Reds on Wednesday.

Myers and Manuel Margot both hit homers off starter Asher Wojciechowski in the sixth inning. The 26-year-old Myers is on pace to set a new career high in home runs but his batting average is trending in the wrong direction. He has a .238/.320/.456 slash line with 22 home runs and 55 RBI in 108 games. The slugger's 11 stolen bases add some extra fantasy value. Aug 9 - 11:52 PM

Wil Myers went 2-for-3 with a home run and three RBI during a 5-2 win over the Pirates on Saturday.

He laced an RBI double in the third inning, then drilled a two-run liner over the center field wall in the fifth. Myers' batting average is a bit low at .243 but he makes up for it with 21 home runs and 53 RBI. He's swiped 10 bags as well. Aug 6 - 12:07 AM

Erick Aybar could be done for the season after being diagnosed with a fractured left foot.

The initial diagnosis was a contusion, but further testing revealed the bad news. It's possible Aybar could make it back as soon as mid-September, but his year might be over. Allen Cordoba and Dusty Coleman will handle shortstop for the Padres moving forward.

He'll see some specialists this week and try to get some answers. Season-ending surgery is a possibility. Dickerson has been on the disabled list since the end of spring training because of a bulging disc.

Friedrich is aiming to be 100 percent healthy at the opening of spring training next February, after being limited to 19 minor league innings in 2017 due to multiple arm problems. The 30-year-old left-hander is a potential non-tender candidate for the Padres this winter.

Weaver opened the season 0-5 with a 7.44 ERA in nine starts before landing on the disabled list in May due to a hip injury that continues to plague him. "While I've been working hard to get back on the mound, my body just will not allow me to compete like I want to," Weaver said in a statement Wednesday. "Many thanks to the Padres organization for the opportunity to play in the amazing city of San Diego. You have been very professional and respectful during this process and I really appreciate that." The 34-year-old right-hander spent 12 seasons in the major leagues between the Angels and Padres, compiling a 150-98 record and 3.63 career ERA. He had three straight top-five finishes in the American League Cy Young Award balloting back in 2010-2012.

Rea was initially aiming to start a throwing program in early March, but the Padres backed him off that plan for precautionary reasons. The right-hander is working his way back from Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery and will miss the entire 2017 season.

Robbie Erlin is throwing bullpens at the Padres' complex in Arizona, but he appears unlikely to pitch in the majors this year after May 2016 Tommy John surgery.

Erlin's original hope was to complete his rehab around the All-Star break, but it hasn't gone that smoothly. Now it looks like he could pitch in games in the instructional league in October and compete for a rotation spot next spring.

That clears a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Kyle McGrath. Cosart underwent season-ending elbow surgery earlier this month. He logged a 4.88 ERA over seven outings including six starts this year.

Diaz struck out two and walked one. The rookie right-hander will now move his minor league rehab assignment to High-A Lake Elsinore and he could return to the Padres' active roster next week if everything continues to go smoothly. It's not yet clear whether he will be used as a starter or reliever down the stretch.

Strahm posted a disappointing 5.45 ERA before having season-ending knee surgery earlier this month, but the left-hander has loads of potential. The Padres figure to give him a shot at a rotation spot next season.
